Hoping people can share this post to educate all the non-farmers out there... if you live near or drive thru a farming area please please PLEASE DO NOT toss your plastic or aluminum bottles/cans into the fields. This is what a plastic water bottle looks like after it has gone through the chopper... it gets mixed up with the feed and the cows end up eating it. Luckily this girl didnt swallow this... it can do real damage to her stomachs and is often times deadly as a magnet wont catch it safely like a nail or screw etc! We cannot see these items in the tall grass... please be considerate. Thanks for sharing this post!

What to do if you find a fawn: Leave it alone. Lone fawns are not abandoned.

Fawns are left alone by their mothers on purpose for many hours. The mother will not return if she senses people or danger but will return to the fawn when she feels it is safe. Mother and fawn will usually get back together within a day.

Often they (fawns) are left alone for hours at a time, while the mother feeds. Sometimes fawns are found by hikers and others in the woods and thought to be orphaned or abandoned. Like most animals, deer mothers do not abandon healthy offspring. They are usually nearby and watching while humans carry the fawn away intending to "rescue" the baby. The best thing to do if you find a fawn in the wild is to leave it alone. They are very cute but they don't need to be rescued by humans, what they need are their mothers and when you go away, mother will return.

Spring reminder: If you come upon a fawn curled up in a field with no mother deer in sight, admire it for a brief moment, at a distance and move on, never touch or interfere. The fawn is doing exactly what nature intended—staying quiet and hidden. Whitetail deer mothers are typically within 100 yards but they purposefully keep their distance--only visiting to nurse or lead their fawn to another safe location. The reason behind this behavior is so she doesn't attract predators to the fawn. By hiding them in tall grass or thick vegetation they can stay out of sight until they are stronger and thanks to their lack of scent and dappled coat, they will remain undetected by predators. If you care, leave them there.
